Why are the new 10th Reg Soldiers on the same side of the field as the 4th Mass? The 4th Mass or obviously American Revolution Soldiers fighting for their freedom, and the 10th Reg are obviously British. So, when they see a Dragon, do they just forget their differences and fight along side each other? I'm hoping this is resolved in their Bio. Opinions?

1) this should have gone in the discussion on the 10th.
2) the Historical 10th did not fight in the American Revolution.
3) THe American's and British have allied themselves many times throughout history
4) when faced with the option of shooting at each other or at those fleshy dudes, the big dragon, the orcs and Taelord what do you think they are going to choose?

Heh. 4th Mass says: "I really want to shoot those damned redcoats but that big, scary, demon looking guy kind of draws my attention."

Actually, I'd disagree about sticking this in one of the current 10th Foot threads. Specially when they're over 200 some odd messages, and currently seem to be talking about who's better, and how to tactically, or strategically use the 10th.

I could be wrong. But it gets awful cumbersome to put everything about a topic into one or two threads, and then go back and look for what you want in particular.


Besides, I think this topic really is different. It's about how the soldiers would react to each other and the threats around them.

From my experiences, many of the soldiers in the armies I trained with, or against, were really not that different than ours. They have a lot in common. As such, most of the ones I've worked with would easily overlook a political or personal issue and take on a greater threat.

You can't kill the enemy if your both killed by a big o'mean nasty beastie.

A couple of those^ posts were funny...others weren't. Who are the 10th Reg then? They look like redcoats from the Rvo War to me...but seeing as I'm always wrong...

P.S. Do I get an award for using ... three times in a post?

They are British Soldiers, just not from the American Revolution.

Great unit, though!! Awesome stats....

No... It's been done before... And it isn't really hard to do, either...

A followup post in that thread corrected that. The 10th Regiment of Foot did, indeed, see action in the American Revolutionary War:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10th_Regiment_of_Foot

The regiment next saw action during the American Revolutionary War at the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Battle of Bunker Hill, New York Campaign, Battle of Germantown, Battle of Monmouth and the Battle of Rhode Island.

The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the outbreak of the war, and when the American soldiers first fired on the British, Ralph Waldo Emerson later called it the "shot heard round the world."
